'Correct' in this context meaning 'most recent stable version'

I'm having issues whereby the screen isn't redrawing itself properly and sometimes I have to mouseover things in order for it to redraw them.

WinXP SP3

This probably belongs on SuperUser. If you wait it'll be voted to migrate over. – Bart Silverstrim Aug 25 '11 at 12:17
Hmm thought that was more for apps rather than hardware. Oh well... – adolf garlic Aug 25 '11 at 12:18
SuperUser is for user-related questions of all kinds. ServerFault is for system administrators; networks, application software for business (on the maintenance/installation side) like databases, network printing, etc. – Bart Silverstrim Aug 25 '11 at 12:20
I did add in an answer just because it didn't take long to do so and figured it would be migrated over with the question to SU. – Bart Silverstrim Aug 25 '11 at 12:22

Go to the manufacturer's website for your video card and see what the latest driver version is. If it's beta (test release) it should say so right in the download links, if not the release notes.

You can also look to see if there are additional drivers for your monitor at that manufacturer but I rarely install those.

Check that your driver notes say the latest version is for Windows XP.

Lol, I used the built in Device Manager 'update' facility in WinXP and it totally broke my machine. BSODing on boot. Had to open with a previous 'system restore point' to get it back. Thanks NVidia!! – adolf garlic Sep 19 '11 at 10:12
